Thoughts of the day

Well i bought that book, " Don't be THAT Girl" today at Barnes and Noble for $5! I'm only on page 3, but its already got me hooked.

I figure that instead of trying to be something I am not or changing myself, I came up with a plan to refine myself. It will take a while, I'm sure, to get the plan in motion, but once its set upkeep shouldn't be so bad.

1. Money: put it in the bank

spend it wisely

save

try to make more

2. Beauty/well being: don't try to change anything, enhance what you have

get a hair cut & color

new (good) makeup

skin care

diet

exercise: do yoga 4 days a week

3. Clothes: try to dress nicer

stay comfortable but care a little more on appearance

(no matter how shallow, first impressions are key)

it is OK to look & feel put together

4. Attitude: try to keep calm & composed as much as possible

always put your best foot forward

don't make premature judgments

always be rational

never get too down about anything

5. Every thing else: know that you are good enough

never settle

just because you take some detours, your dreams are never impossible

always want more and better for yourself, yet...

know & appreciate a good thing

keep your friends & family close

keep your enemies just as close

don't be THAT girl : )

More cool things.

I really love this blog Stay Home. Theres a link for it.

More things to buy.

What are we doing?

Why are we all "crazy" like most guys like to say? Doesn't every girl just want to be swept of their feet? I know I do, and have yet to experience whatever that may entail. Just because we are in a long term relationship does not always mean that we want to get married soon or ever, but we all want to be "swept off our feet". I suppose I am just writing this to tell myself, but it is true. & whether or not we are in a steady relationship or single, girls like the thrill of dating, of looking for A, not THAT, special person. Now the obvious question comes to mind; are we meant to have multiple relationships and meet numerous special people, or our we meant to find and be with the one?

I fell like dating and general life have many things in common as far as what I am talking about. & what I am talking about is putting your self out there. It is one of the most annoying things we have to deal with. "I may dissect each little thing and put myself out there so much but at least that means that I still care. Oh! You've think you won because women are expendable to you. You may not get hurt or make an ass of yourself that way but you don't fall in love that way either. You have not won. You're alone. I may do a lot of stupid shit but I'm still a lot closer to love than you are." So which is it? Do you constantly put your self out there? Does it feel like you get nothing but craped on? Is it worth it just to think that maybe one day things will work out? I struggle with these questions every day.

Birthday/Christmas present?

What is going on?

“I had this guy leave me a voice mail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It’s exhausting.”

Don’t Be That Girl is a book that most women will likely find they can relate to on many levels, whether your single and looking, or already married. You probably know at least one that girl in your life right now, and if you haven’t yet read the book, I highly recommend you do. I know two that girls personally, and they will be receiving their copies of the book within the next day or two, and I’ll be very interested to hear what they thought of the book after reading it. One of the things that I liked most about Dr. Stark’s book is the self-deprecating humor he uses in describing some of his previous relationship foibles, and how he came up with the humorous phrase, “try to limit your baggage to a carry-on”, when talking about the nutty things some women do when trying to find love.

GiGi: Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up: if a boy punches you he likes you, never try to trim your own bangs, and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it: the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. but sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. how to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. and maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. maybe the happy ending is just moving on. or maybe the happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned phone calls and broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment... you never gave up hope.

Creative Space

I just thought I would share some pictures of my friend's apartment that she took. I really love how cluttered yet organized everything is.

Wall paper is a great way to get that type of look. I love wallpaper!

My Dia de los Muertos obsession.

I decided on my Halloween costume early this year so I would have time to get it ready.

I thought it was kinnda cool since I couldn't think of anything. I am going to make a couple and paint them differently. I also thought after halloween they could double as a cool art pice for the w

alls. (I found these two pictures on a google search for "Day of the Dead make up" which brought me to an interestng blog that i now fallow.)

Just some inspiration... I also think I am going to try to make some actual sugas skulls for the

holiday.

A new goal.

So after graduating high school I wasn't involved in any sports programs which were my main sounce of excerszie. In result I have gained about 30 lbs over a 2 year period. I wasn't fat at 160 lbs but I have lost a lot of muscle tone so to be at a good size i estimate that I will need to lose an additional 10 to 20 maybe even 30 lbs. Three months ago I started my diet at 210 lbs, I am now down to 185 lbs equaling a 25 lb loss. Any tips on losing weight?

One thing I never thought I would be a part of.

WOW what a crazy weekend. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night a few friends and I attended Dragon Con in our very own Atlanta. For those 3 night from around 12:00 am to 4:30 am we participated in oohing & awing, all around astonishment, laughing, making fun of, and heavy drinking. We didn't actually have tickets so we didn't get to see too much of the things that went on during the day, but we had fun non the less.
